Are you ready to get all fired up? DreadXP — our celebrated sister site and ghoulish game publisher extraordinaire — is excited to announce their newest dark comedy indie horror game Red Tape. Enter the nine departments of corporate hell on February 14, 2023 when it releases on Steam for Windows PC.
Inspired by Dante Alighieri’s The Divine Comedy, DreadXP and developer Pollaris Studios’ Red Tape takes the idiom and translates it into a full-on bureaucracy simulator about a fallen angel trapped in the bowels of Hell seeking a way back to Heaven. It’s up to players to get this nasty … “HR issue” sorted with the head honcho himself: CEO of Hell Incorporated, The Devil.
“DreadXP was founded by a desire to support fellow spooky-inclined indie game developers, so when we came across the folks at Brazil-based Pollaris Studios, we saw an amazing opportunity to highlight this small but immensely talented team,” said Ted Hentschke, Head of Production at DreadXP. “Pollaris Studios marks the first of many ultra-small indies that we intend to support with our publishing resources and introduce to as big of an audience as possible.”
As an angel trapped in the fiery underworld due to a paperwork mishap, players of Red Tape will explore the nine circles of Hell Inc. to fix this egregious filing error. They’ll have to run, jump, wait in line, and experience all the thrills and thralls of horrific corporate culture first-hand. Hellish bureaucratic processes await, as are all manner of demons and hellspawn determined to complicate matters further with their petty nonsense, conflated egos, and sadistic requests. Players will have to cut through the red tape in their fight to restore balance between Heaven and Hell.
Wishlist the game on Steam right now.
The nine circles of Hell are, of course, sectioned into familiar corporate departments:
- LIMBO – Reception
- LUST – Human Resources
- GLUTTONY – Cafeteria
- GREED – Accounting
- WRATH – Customer Service
- HERESY – Marketing
- FRAUD – Legal
- VIOLENCE – Planning
- TREACHERY – Administration
